Her "naive" comment pissed me off, but she isn't horrible

1. Gwen Ifill (Awfuls) does nothing but pander to the bush* administration.
Fridays, I used to watch her on PBS. It's pissing me off that they chose Condi lite for this debate.

12. Who the hell said anything about black women but you? I didn't even
think about that. I was talking about her tone when addressing Edwards and he obvious partisan slant toward the bush* administration. I have been watching that show of hers for a long time. I've seen the change in her especially in the last year and a half.

Where did this black women thing come from?

11. What do you mean, pathetic? Have you ever watched PBS on Friday
night? If so, has it never struck you as being remarkable that she constantly has people on it that favor the bush* administration and their policies, even if they've totally been shown to be a bunch of assholes that week, as being firm, strong, steady leaders? Do you not notice that her show is so partisan that it really presents only one side of the story and is always VERY unflattering to the democrats.

You say I'm being pathetic? Well, I have an opinion on your remark, but I'd just end up being banned so I won't say anything. You can say you disagree, but as for calling me pathetic, I could just as easily say you sound a lot like a republican. Nothing intelligent to say, so call someone a denigrating name.

2. Sometimes
A question is really just a question and not an accusation. And if you answer them wisely, you can rebut your opponent before he has had a chance to make the accusation.

15. Ifill isn't even a journalist. She belongs on Access Hollywood,
not moderating such an important debate.

17. Ifill is Awful
She sounds like a manure salesman with a mouthful of samples. I hate listening to her speak; her elocution is so terrible it's painful to listen to. Since Baba Wawa, seems like anyone with a serious speech impediment and no visible journalism skills can be a "interviewer."
